Dear Bill:
Unfortunately, 1 could not get this ready In time
for your 10 AM meeting Friday morning with Joe.
Enclosed is a copy of the position statement which
the U. S. Cane Sugar Refiners' Association got up last
Thursday.
Along with quotas, the Department of Agriculture
is recommending target prices of approximately $21 per
cwt. which is approximately $3 per cwt. above present
levels for raw sugar and can can expect a similar rise
in the refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup.
1 hope that your company has a pipeline into the
White House because the decision on this is Imminent.
If you could use your cousin to put a copy of this
paper in Reagan's hands, you would be the people's
hero.
We would be delighted to telex or telecopy this to
anyone In your company that you designate. Give my
secretary Mary Balley a call at 234-1261 if you wish to
do this.
Enjoyed seeing you Thursday night.
With kind regards, 1 am

Alexander M. Haig, Jr.
Secretary of State
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Secretary:
After speaking by phone to Washington, we were advised to follow up with
a letter, inviting you to participate in an "Institute on War and
Conscience" which the University of Santa Clara is sponsoring from
September to December 1982.
The University of Santa Clara, the oldest institution of higher learning
west of the Mississippi, is a Jesuit and Catholic private university.
Our student body numbers over 7,000, many of whom will obtain employment
in the various engineering and service sectors of the "Silicon Valley" in
which we are located.
The Institute will involve serious academic and university-wide reflection
on the issues of politics, warfare, morality, and the formation of the
informed conscience. It will consist of a number of concurrent university
courses which will approach these topics from a variety of disciplines:
theology, literature, philosophy, history, political science, the social
sciences, engineering and biology.
We plan to supplement the courses by giving the student body and the wider
community the chance to hear from a number of people connected with our
government, those who are intimately involved in major decision-making.
The Institute would be greatly enhanced if you could speak on American
policies, hopes, and fears in this nuclear age.
I am inviting you, therefore, to address the Institute on the evening of
Monday, October 4, 1982, on the general topic of "American Policy in the
Nuclear World." I suggest that date as a convenient one; we were advised
to offer, obviously, a number of dates, so I further suggest any day between
October 4 and November 6, excluding the intervening Mondays - we have already
established speaking arrangements for those days. The University will pro-
vide lodging, meals, transportation to Santa Clara and, of course, your
usual honorarium.

I hope you can arrange your schedule to allow for this talk, Mr. Secretary:
it is important we hear from all sides, but most of all, it is important
we hear from our government. We will follow up this letter with telephone
contact - thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mike:
Many thanks for the most attractive and
clever belt buckle. You indicated that it
was for my son Craig, but since his father wears
a western belt on the weekends, young Craig
will have to wait a while to receive the gift.
I look forward to serving the administration
from a new vantage point and very much appreciate
your support for my nomination for the next
available Federal Election Commissioner which
I beleive occurs next Spring. As you know
serving in this capacity would put me back
into the political arena where I feel I really

Thank you for your consideration.

FROM:
REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE SECRETARY
SUBJECT:
PRESIDENTIAL SUPPORT INDEX
DATE:
MAY 17,1982
The Presidential Support Index is a ranking of senators according
to percentage of votes cast in support of the president's
position. Only those votes on which the President announced his
preference (as recorded in Congressional Quarterly) have been
considered in this report.
Within the index there are three categories: agree (with the
President), disagree, and did not vote. Paired or announced for
is counted as yea while paired or announced against is counted as
nay; a present vote is counted as a disagreeing vote.
During the 1st Session of the 97th Congress and the 2nd Session
through record vote number 96, there was a total of 141 votes on
which the President had a stated position. This figure is used
as the denominator for calculations of percentage (e.g., 100
agreeing votes over a total of 141 votes yields a percentage of
70.92).
Your individual statistics for this period are as follows:

END OF MEMO
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 26, 1982
Dear Mr. Fox:
Thank you for your recent letter concerning proposed budget
cuts for the Federal student assistance programs for the
fiscal years 1982 and 1983.
The five major student assistance programs administered by
the Office of Student Financial Assistance -- the Pell Grant,
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, College Work-
Study, National Direct Student Loan, and Guaranteed Student
Loan Programs -- are authorized by the Higher Education
Act of 1965 and by subsequent amendments. The enclosed booklet,
"The Student Guide: Five Federal Financial Aid Programs,
1982-83," gives detailed information about the programs,
including changes made by the Postsecondary Student Assistance
Amendments, enacted on August 13, 1981. Further changes
proposed for the programs, including the restriction of
Guaranteed Student Loans to undergraduates, the increase of
the "origination fee" for these loans from five to ten percent,
the extension of the needs test requirement to all Guaranteed
Student Loan applicants, and the reduction in funding for
Pell Grants, will require legislation by both houses of
Congress. Therefore, we cannot say at this time what the
specific results of that legislation will be.
The value of these student aid programs is not being questioned.
There just are not sufficient Federal resources available to
fund them at levels which we all might like. Education
assistance, along with other areas of governmental activity,
must share the burden of budget cuts necessary to solve the
economic problems facing the Nation. The goal of the changes
in the student assistance programs continues to be curtailing
the rapid escalation of program costs while maintaining equity
in the distribution of Federal funds. Budget revisions were
made with the object of retaining our ability to provide
assistance to those most in need of it.
Thank you for your comments.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL K. DEAVER

Mr. Deaver,

Although this is not an official letter of the
Fraternity, it is a letter of much importance to myself. I
was happy to find out that a fellow Brother was a promonent
Presidential Aide for two reasons; First because seeing a
Delta Sig in the White House is an homor, and second, be-
cause I am trying to get a response to my letter, and I thought
I would have better luck getting one from a Brother in the Bond.
My name is Dan Fox, and I'm a freshman at the Uni-
versity of Missouri. Our school has recently launched a
letter-writing campaign opposing the proposed budget cuts.
I sent a letter with the school, but all I expect back is a
form letter. I decided to send additional letter to my
congressman, Jerry Lewis (I live in San Bernardino, Ca.),
and one to you. The cutting of Financial Aid is not only
a personal issue to me, but also part of an action project
assigned in my Logic class.
I know that you are a busy man, but I would deeply
appreciate any personal response or opinions you might have.
Thank you for your time and concern.

When legislation passed that affected them, even ad-
vers ly, and they wouldn't respond, the people came to the
conclusion that the students didn't care. Well, that was then.
This is now. The students are responding, and they do care
It's okay to make cuts, and granted, we have to
make them. That's not what we are complaining about. we,
the students, are complaining about where those cuts are be-
ing made. Education is probably the single-most important
part of not only every individual's life, but the Nation's
life. I'm sorry, but I can't accept, as I'm sure most in my
fellow student's can't accept, a drastic increase in defense
spending, and a drastic decrease in financial aid to stu-
dents. I guess it's just a matter of priorities. Mine are in
educating people and enriching life. They are not in the sense-
less build up of products whose only purpose is to destroy
life. Financing death-squads (as we are in El Salvador) who
are fighting the non-existent threat of "communism" is some-
thing that's hard for me to accept. Especially when there
soon could be thousands of intelligent people that won't be
able to afford to further their education. Their only crime
would be not being so "privileged" as to be in the "elite"
class. We should all have to worry about selling our million-
dollar house in California, or finding another loophole to
get us out of the 50% tax bracket.
If our education system goes down the tubes, so
does our country. Like I said, I guess it's just a matter of
priorities. It might mean a few less nuclear warheads, or
a few less sets of White House china, but I think that having
a few more educated people in this world would help keep
us out of having to worry about where our next bomb is coming
from.
